How to Network-Configure FlashPAK

Configuring FlashPAK to communicate with TaskLink over a network involves creating a network configuration PC Card with TaskLink, inserting the PC Card into the programmer, and setting the programmer network parameters.

To configure your programmer:

In TaskLink, set the PC Card drive letter.

Note: Verify that Administrative Privileges are set for this PC Card.

Click Tools > Create Network Configuration Card.
Click Next to continue.

(Optional) If using Serial Number Server (network serialization), select Using network serialization, enter the Serial Number Server Port (by default, 7500 here and on SNServer), and the IP Address of the PC running SNServer. (Check with your IS Department for this information.) Click Next to continue.

The network configuration file is written to the PC Card in the drive specified in the Communication tab. Click OK.

Insert the PC Card into FlashPAK.

Note: If this is the first time your FlashPAKis being configured with network settings, skip to Step 14.
If your programmer has been previously configured with network settings (or if unsure about whether it has been previously configured), continue with Step 10.

On the FlashPAKControl Panel, scroll to and select System. Then scroll to and select Network.
Press the Select button to make changes to Network Parm:
Using the arrow buttons, toggle Network Parm: to Card.
Press the Menu button to save the changes.
Cycle the programmer power so that the new network settings take effect.

CAUTION: Never remove the PC Card from FlashPAK while the yellow lamp is blinking.

Your programmer is now configured to communicate with TaskLink.

Note: The network configuration file is automatically deleted from the PC Card at the end of the process. This prevents accidentally configuring two programmers with the same network settings.

Note: To speed up Job download (TLWin Ver 7.52+), on the TaskLink General tab (System > Options > General) disable "Backup Job Files before Job Load operation."
